Christmas is over, the presents have been opened, and you still have one more week to entertain the kids before they head back to school! Dreading the boredom that's sure to hit soon? Being cooped up inside during the cold winter months can make kids (and parents) go stir crazy. If you’ve run out of new play ideas to try, pull out your Lifetime folding table and read on. I've put together a list of easy ideas that kids can do with each other, or the entire family can do together. And, no batteries or expensive toys and gadgets are required…it’s just good old fashioned fun! You’ll soon discover that with a little imagination a folding table can be much more than just a simple table!

Are you planning on staying up late on Christmas Eve to help Santa assemble the gift he bought from Lifetime Products? Hopefully, Lifetime's instruction manual will answer any questions you may have. However, if you do get stuck in a rut, be sure to check out the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page on www.lifetime.com before you send Santa stomping back to his workshop!
Whether you're assembling a basketball hoop, wheelbarrrow, or shed, we've got a list of customers' most popular questions including where to find your model number, what to use to fill a basketball base, or how to remove the label from your table! We even have all of our assembly instructions online, just in case you accidentally threw your copy away with the boxes and wrapping paper.
If you can't find your answer o... More

Well, winter is officially upon us. Now that you finally (or hopefully) have all of your summer backyard accessories stored, did you once again find yourself running out of places to stuff all of your patio cushions and pool supplies? Yes? Thought so. Well, then it's time to stop buying yet another tiny storage container to add to your collection already cluttering your deck. Treat yourself to a super-sized deck box instead!
Lifetime's new 130-gallon deck box is huge! (So, quite frankly, if you've only got a tiny place you want to put a deck box, this isn't for you.) But, don't just take our word for it. Consumers Digest awarded the Lifetime Deck Box a Best Buy award in September 2009, stating "This unit delivers the most storage capacity of any deck box and i... More

If you’re family is like mine, you’ve got some real basketball fans in the house. Instead of just watching games on TV during basketball season, I try to get my kids and neighbors in on the action with neighborhood basketball tournaments. Whether you’re playing “H-O-R-S-E” or a simple game of one-on-one, there’s just something about a basketball goal that demands for friends to get together and have some fun.
You could play family vs family, girls vs boys, or even adults vs kids (just be careful—if the kids win, they will never let you live it down!). Get your game started on an adjustable-height basketball system from Lifetime Products—that way, you can lower the hoop, so even younger kids can be all-stars.
To celebrate the championship game, you could even give away h... More

1. The KidsSure, kids love to get new toys for their Christmas. But more than that, most toddlers like things that are “just like Mom and Dad’s”! Give them a Lifetime Children’s Picnic Table so they can sit and eat at a table just their size and they’ll soon be begging for dinnertime! And, just like the adult version, the plastic top and metal frame fold flat to hang on the wall for easy storage during the winter months. Oh, did we mention it’s stain resistant? Even permanent marker, spaghetti sauce, or grape juice won’t stain this table!
2. The TeacherLooking for a unique gift for your child’s teacher that she can use both in her classroom and at home? Give her a Lifetime Personal Table. It’s inexpensive and with the thre... More

Rich Snippets: Coming Soon to a Search Engine Near You!
Search engines not only display content, they spider web pages, gathering information from your pages, then re-work all that information into a listing that searchers see when they're looking for stuff -- and the cycle is complete.
When a person goes to a search engine they have a good idea of what theyre looking for (otherwise they'll be on StumbleUpon, right?). With millions of search results being found and displayed, sometimes it's hard for people to find what they're looking for among all those results.
To help combat that, Google is trying to show searchers more information about their search results. Information about information?
That sounds a lot like meta-data! Yes, yes it does!
Here at Lifetime, we're starting to roll out web pages that will take advantage of Google's "Rich Snippits" to get more information...

Black Friday!!!
What is your favorite part of Thanksgiving? My wife’s favorite part is going shopping! I find more satisfaction in staying home, eating too much, and watching football, but, to each their own. I went one year with my wife and after I got beat by a bunch of spry and motivated ladies while trying to get some sheets, I decided to retire from Black Fridaying (is that even a word?).
My goal is to help you know where you can find our products. With so many different retailers carrying our products, I wanted to help you wade through the mess.

Love my Pumpkin Carving Table!
Halloween is such a fun time of year! Who doesn’t love costumes, face paint, spooky decorations – and my personal favorite – pumpkin carving?!
So last night, my husband and I set out on our pumpkin carving adventure. My husband not only carves pumpkins, but he is amazing at shaving in faces, and doing all sorts of cool stuff. Over the years, he has helped me get more and more into it as well.
Since I knew this was going to get pretty messy, I didn’t really want to use my wooden kitchen table, so I decided to pull out my trusty 4-Foot Fold-In-Half Lifetime Table. We live in a smaller apartment, so this is the perfect table for us. It is super easy to store and ...
